DESIGN AND FABRICATION MINI LATHE MACHINE

ABSTRACT:

A lathe machine is used for rotating a work piece in order to perform


sanding, parting off, and drilling, knurling and turning operations on the work
piece. Lathes have been used on woodworking, essence corridor and also on
plastic nylon corridor for a long time in the assiduity. So then we study the desi
gn and fabrication of a mini lathe machine. Our machine consists of a motor
with belt arrangement wont to drive the lathe chuck. The machine consists of a
bed with a portable arrangement. It consists of a holder in order to hold the
asked tool in asked position. We use a chuck attached to the spindle shaft so as
to run the motor. Our motor formerly powered transmits this power to the
spindle through a belt medium, which is also used to rotate the chuck. This
rotates the work piece by chuck. The machine is erected to hold and rotate the
work piece and move the tool in a sliding medium, so as to achieve the asked
operations. The machine external frame is designed to hold the work piece
forcefully with tool in place so as to achieve asked operations with ease

INTRODUCTION

A lathe machine is used for rotating a workpiece in order to perform


sanding, cutting, drilling, knurling and turning operations on the workpiece.
Lathes have been used on woodworking, metal parts and also on plastic nylon
parts for a long time in the industry. So here we study the design and fabrication
of a mini lathe machine. Our machine consists of a motor with belt arrangement
used to drive the lathe chuck. The machine consists of a bed with a movable
arrangement. It consists of a holder in order to hold the desired tool in desired
position. We use a chuck attached to the spindle shaft in order to run the motor.
Our motor once powered transmits this power to the spindle through a belt
mechanism, which is then used to rotate the chuck. This rotates the workpeice
in chuck. The machine is built to hold and rotate the workpeice and move the
tool in a sliding mechanism, so as to achieve the desired operations.
The machine outer frame is designed to hold the workpeice firmly with tool in
place so as to achieve desired operations with ease. Thus we successfully study
the design and fabrication.

DESIGN:

COMPONENTS USED:

Motor:

DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts


direct current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common types
rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Nearly all types of DC motors
have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to
periodically change the direction of current flow in part of the motor .
Chuck:

A chuck is a specialized type of clamp. It is used to hold an object with


radial symmetry, especially a cylinder. In drills and mills it holds the rotating
tool whereas in lathes it holds the rotating workpiece. On a lathe the chuck is
mounted on the spindle which rotates within the headstock. For some purposes
(such as drilling) an additional chuck may be mounted on the nonrotating
tailstock.

Sliding Frame:

The sliding frame is an elliptical welding construction made from solid


steel and specially developed as a silo discharge system for very difficult
flowing bulk material . Through the back and forth movement of the sliding
frame, the stored product is compulsively transported to one or more discharge
screw conveyors.

The sliding frame is moved back and forth by means of a hydraulic cylinder
mounted outside the silo. The cylinder movement is activated by means of a
compact hydraulic unit.

Bearing:

A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the


desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. The design of the
bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part
or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by
controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts. Most
bearings facilitate the desired motion by minimizing friction. Bearings are
classified broadly according to the type of operation, the motions allowed, or to
the directions of the loads (forces) applied to the parts.
Screw:

A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are almost always
used in conjunction with a mating bolt to fasten multiple parts together. The two
partners are kept together by a combination of their threads’ friction (with slight
elastic deformation), a slight stretching of the bolt, and compression of the parts
to be held together.

Lathe Cutting Tool:

A tool bit is a non-rotary cutting tool used in metal lathes, shapers, and
planers. Such cutters are also often referred to by the set-phrase name of single-
point cutting tool, as distinguished from other cutting tools such as a saw or
water jet cutter. The cutting edge is ground to suit a particular machining
operation and may be resharpened or reshaped as needed. The ground tool bit is
held rigidly by a tool holder while it is cutting.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

The lathe is a machine tool which holds the workpiece between two rigid
and strong supports called centers or in a chuck or face plate which revolves.
The cutting tool is rigidly held and supported in a tool post which is fed against
the revolving work. The normal cutting operations are performed with the
cutting tool fed either parallel or at right angles to the axis of the work.

LATHE OPERATIONS

The engine lathe is an accurate and versatile machine on which many operations
can be performed. These operations are:
1. Plain Turning and Step Turning
2. Facing
3. Parting
4. Drilling
5. Reaming
6. Boring
7. Knurling
8. Grooving
9. Threading
10. Forming
11. Chamfering
12. Filling and Polishing
13. Taper Turning
